Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R), “whose tax cuts brought him political turmoil, recurring budget holes and sparse evidence of economic success, has a message for President-elect Donald Trump: Do what I did,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“In 2013, Mr. Brownback set out to create a lean, business-friendly government in his state that other Republicans could replicate. He now faces a $350 million deficit when the Kansas legislature convenes in January and projections of a larger one in 2018. The state’s economy is flat and his party is fractured.”

“Still, Mr. Brownback views his signature idea—eliminating the 4.6% state individual income tax for partnerships, limited liability corporations and similar businesses—as a national model.”

You know Congress, with plenty of Democratic support will pass the tax cuts for their masters in the ruling class.

18. Kansas Undercuts Bernie's Idea That Its the Economy Stupid

Brownback's policies have been economically devastating to most Kansans. Yet, given his conservative social views, as well as the strident anti-immigration position of his administration, particularly Chris Kobach, in a State that is already very white, Brownback was re-elected. So long as you cater to intolerance and hate, the economy and the plight of the working class could very well be secondary.
